TravelingWithDog

Balearic Islands with your dog

Quick answer

The Balearics add the ferry variable to dog travel: Baleària publishes pet options per ship and route, verified in our directory. Flying in means each airline's cabin rules, and Vueling's verified pets page covers that path on many island routes.

Getting there with your dog

The ferry is the dog-friendliest way in: Baleària's verified page details cabins and kennels by route from the mainland. By air, cabin rules are airline-specific: weigh dog plus carrier and read your airline's page the same day, as our in-cabin carriers guide explains.

Where to sleep

Chain presence is thinner than on the mainland, which makes written questions to each hotel even more important. Use the 5 questions from our Spain hotels guide, and watch our directory as verified island stays land, always with their check date.

Frequently asked questions

Can my dog travel to Mallorca by ferry?

Yes. Baleària publishes pet options per ship and route (pet cabins on some routes, kennels on others), on Baleària's page, verified in our directory.

Is the ferry better than flying with a dog?

For medium and large dogs, usually yes: cabin flight caps sit around 8 kg with carrier on many airlines, while the ferry admits dogs of any size under its own conditions. Compare both against your dog's size.

Do Balearic hotels accept dogs?

Each hotel decides, and chain presence is thinner than on the mainland. Ask the 5 written questions from our Spain hotels guide before booking.

Can dogs go to Balearic beaches?

Beach rules are municipal and seasonal. Check the town's current ordinance: we will publish verified beach lists island by island as we check them.
